The incident happened Monday morning in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where 57-year-old Josephe Elise was driving his niece’s son to day care. But just a block from their home the child, while in his car seat, experienced respiratory distress.

“Foam came from his mouth,” Elise said.

Knowing that the child suffered from asthma and has had two previous seizures, he stopped the car.

“I go outside and scream for help, scream loud for help. I’m trying to take him from car seat,” Elise said.

Neighbors flagged down a police cruiser. The officers — Officer Nunez and Officer Charlene Vazquez — got the child out of the car seat and onto the rear deck of the car.

“He was unconscious. His were eyes closed,” said Officer Vazquez. “At that moment I thought he’s not breathing, he might be dead. I just started putting compression on his chest.”
